Thanks, Ana! What a surprise to see this pop up today. smile

My second surprise was to see that the developer is Floodlight Games: the developer of the Women's Murder Club casual games as well as the Agatha Christie series of casual games.

Off to spend some time with the demo now. wave

What a nice surprise! I have bought it without playing the demo. I am sure that it will be a good one as all of the preceding H.E.'s have been. But first I am going to finish Redemption Cemetery Children's Plight.Then on to Hidden Expedition! Yippee!!!!!! happydance

I'm working on this game currently. It has some spectacular hidden object scenes! Some just make me cringe but I love it! The puzzles are real 'head scratchers' but fun.
This is easily my favorite game of the year.

The strategy guide was only available for me after purchasing.

I'm really loving this game! 4 hours and not nearly finished.
Unique multi-layered puzzles. May end up being the best of the series for me. smile

I need to stop reading this thread. My resolve to cut back on game expenditures this month is weakening. taz

This is, for me, the best of the whole series of HE games. smile

* Updated graphics, newer technology.
* Clever multi-layered and interactive puzzles.
* Good music and sound effects.
* Beautiful graphics and cut scenes.
* Movement in some scenes, not just static scenes.
* S.G. opens up where you left off, not back to home.
* Funny/clever text in newspapers and documents.
* Nice combination of easy to hard puzzles.

There are enough references to explain the story up to this point.
But you will get a much better idea of the game if you play the previous HE game.

I usually delete a game after finishing, saving only the best 3 or 4 games on my game manager.
This one I am keeping! Definitely want to play this game again, in hard mode next time.

I probably play 7-7.5 hours, including bonus game-(which was average to slightly longer in length). thumbsup

Richard, I just did that box puzzle with all the objects in it and that was worth the price of admission to me right there. I absolutely loved that puzzle! yay

Loved them too. They look easy at first, but I got stuck a couple of times.

Ouch! I know I am old, even more than my computer (in computer years)! But, trying to play the trial I get the message that my computer's resolution is too low for the full window version. Never had that problem before. Just what resolution is this game asking for?


Hmmmm. Never mind. I went ahead to start the game and find I DO have full resolution regardless of that message rec'd. Must be a computer glitch.

Finally a IHOG I'm excited about. I admit I have taken a break because I was tired of the ghost/vampire story lines. I have to say this may be the best one yet in the series. I had 3 credits so was a no brainer to just go ahead and get this one.

Okay. I'm out of games and considering this one. Is there an option to skip the mini-games/puzzles?

There's a skip button for the game. smile

Mudrock just announced a CE for this week; assuming it is released, it is going to be the third Awakening game, titled The Goblin King. You may want to check that game out, too. smile
